What Are Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)?
As of early 2023, the Environment Agency has introduced new guidelines regarding the collection and disposal of items containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Due to these updated regulations, we are no longer able to accept waste that contains or is classified as containing POPs in our skips alongside other waste types.
Examples of items that may contain POPs include:
These include the following :
Sofas and Sofa Chairs, Sofa Beds, Kitchen and Dining room chairs, home office chairs, Bean bags, Stools and foot stools, Futons, Cushions and Sofa Cushions.
